Research
My research interests relate to eating behaviours and motivations for food choice. Most recently, my PhD research has focussed on food choices and eating behaviours in adolescents, an interesting yet challenging cohort to research and work with. Prior to this, I worked largely in the area of global public health nutrition, mainly focussing on breastfeeding and support for new mothers. I continue to work in this area through support to the Emergency Nutrition Network (ENN).
